In this insightful episode of the MumSafe™ Podcast, Jen Dugard sits down with Exercise Physiologist and clinic founder Anna-Louise Moule, whose career has been dedicated to women’s health and cancer care for over a decade.

Anna-Louise shares her clinical expertise across breast cancer treatment, persistent pelvic pain, hypermobility, and postpartum recovery, while also offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how she built and leads a thriving multidisciplinary clinic.
This conversation spans everything from strength training during cancer treatment to the hormonal overlap between postpartum and perimenopause, and the critical role of preventative care across a woman’s lifespan.

Perfect for exercise professionals, EPs, physios, and anyone passionate about creating safer, more informed support for women.

Highlights:

• How exercise guidelines for breast cancer have evolved, from “rest” to targeted, higher-intensity strength training
• How to safely support clients through fatigue, chemo side effects, and immunocompromise
• Understanding low-estrogen states (breastfeeding, treatment-induced menopause, perimenopause) and their impact on pelvic floor capacity
• Why postpartum and perimenopause programming share more overlap than we think
• The importance of training to the “weakest link” across complex health presentations
• How early postpartum care changes long-term women’s health outcomes
• What trainers should ask when screening women with persistent pelvic pain
• How oncology EPs, pelvic health physios, and trainers can collaborate for better client outcomes
• Anna-Louise’s transition from solo EP to multidisciplinary clinic owner
• The real challenges of leadership: boundaries, finances, hiring and navigating maternity leave
• Why preventative care, not reactive treatment, is the future of women’s health
• The value of MumSafe™ education for EPs and why collaboration beats turf wars

Key Takeaway:

Women’s health is interconnected. Whether a woman is navigating cancer treatment, postpartum recovery or perimenopause, movement is medicine and when professionals collaborate across disciplines, we give women the preventative care, strength and confidence they deserve.
